I don't mean to brag BUT it only took 4 weeks of summer vacation for me to get caught up on my laundry! #bejealous What are your summer goals for this weeks? Mine simply MUST include a pool as I have yet to go swimming!

Well....you have a right to brag! One of my goals is to work in my upstairs office space, and rearrange my craft area.

Same! I also need to clean out my home office. I think it will take weeks, as I have not been good about staying organized in there. The last time I really went through it all was during the Covid shut-down so I have a lot of work to do!

I like to put on a good movie and watch while I work in the home office/craft room. The benefit is more time to myself because anyone comes in, they are gonna be asked to help

Laundry was also a huge to do item on my list! When you add in bed sheets, floor rugs, and beach towels the loads add up fast! I am super proud of my pantry clean out and organize. That has been my biggest summer accomplishment so far!! 🩷💜

My next task is to clean out the freezer. I have tote bags for everything, and they are labeled. Somehow the family cannot figure out how to put stuff back in the bags. Everything is piled on top of the EMPTY bags. Grrrrrr!

I am so happy to hear that you finally got caught up with your laundry OP. That is such exciting news. I have been meaning to clean out my home office so that is my goal to get done this week.

I'm down to 3 loads left. Everyone in my house is responsible for their own laundry, but I had racked up about 6 or 7 loads toward the end of school and just kept putting it off. I have two big totes to put all my winter clothes in. As I am washing and drying clothes, I've been able to pack away my winter clothes. Almost have my closet clean and organized, though

Girl you inspire me I have 4 bags of dry cleaning that I need to drop off. I have just been buying clothes it is cheaper than dry cleaning. I am working summer school. I will use about $250.00 of it to start the process.

The price of dry cleaning is ridiculous. I hardly have anything anymore that requires dry cleansing. I finally got all my clothes cleaned and put away. Hubz carried my two totes off winter clothes upstairs today Whew!

I am on week two of summer break. Doing home improvement like painting and such. Looking forward to a week in San Diego early July.

I hope you enjoy your trip. My mom used to live in San Diego. The pictures she had of the city were beautiful.

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine?

I work with mostly autistic students.
